Weathering the Storm: How to Prepare Your Home for Summer Storms
Summer storms can roll in fast — bringing heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, and even unexpected power outages. While these seasonal events are a part of nature, their impact on your home doesn’t have to be. The key is preparing ahead of time, so you can enjoy the season with peace of mind.
Before storm season ramps up, it’s important to walk your property and secure anything that could become a hazard in high winds — outdoor furniture, garden tools, or even loose branches. Cleaning out gutters and downspouts can help prevent water buildup and reduce the risk of water damage during a heavy rain.
Flash flooding is another concern that often catches homeowners off guard. Even if your property isn’t located in a known flood area, you could still be at risk during intense storms. It’s worth reviewing your insurance coverage to understand what’s included — flood damage, for example, is not typically part of a standard homeowners policy.
Storms can also lead to temporary power loss. Having essentials on hand — like battery-powered lights, charged devices, and non-perishable food — can make a big difference. It’s also a great time to review your emergency plan with your household and make sure everyone knows what to do if severe weather strikes.
Perhaps most importantly, checking in on your insurance policy now can save you stress later. Whether it’s for roof damage, water intrusion, or other storm-related losses, knowing your coverage details ahead of time gives you confidence and clarity.
